Coral roses - and paradise - represent things to us. They represent the exotic. The freedom of getting away from it all. A carefree life. No worries. No tuition fees. No bills coming through the mailslot. No more hassles with neighbours, coworkers, bosses, spouses, children. They represent stepping out of it all - stepping out of one's very society.
But you can never accomplish that. Some people think you can. You can't. No matter where you live you're going to be part of a society. Are you sure you like that society as much as your own? Some societies are indeed better - but a lot are much much worse.
If all you want is good climate: that's fine. But you'll be around people. After that glorious weekend as you waddle your way back to the airport to fly back home again to return to your vertical city - you're leaving people behind. People who live there 24/7/365.2422. Do you dare stay behind, going to ground, making it on your own?
Can you have paradise - with the paradise feeling - even on Monday?
You can. But it's really tricky.
